Approved and Pipeline HIV/AIDS Projects June 2000 Projects in the pipeline
Approved and Pipeline HIV/AIDS Projects June 2004 Projects approved Projects in preparation
Approved and Pipeline HIV/AIDS Projects December 2004 Subregional projects (approved & pipeline) Projects approved Projects in the pipeline Capacity building help
MAP status • 28 countries + 3 subregional projects • $1.08 billion committed so far • Nearly $400 million disbursed • ~ 40% of money to civil society • Laying groundwork for others • Several countries preparing second phase
Support to national programs • Strengthen national mechanisms • 38 countries have NACs / joint reviews spreading • Global Fund building on mechanisms in many cases • Stimulate action by public sector • Benin: 20 ministries have AIDS plans funded • Cameroon: treatment has achieved 80% adherence and immune restoration / Global Fund scaling up • Eritrea: sex by students down from 9% to 2% • Ghana: M & E focal pts reporting in all 110 districts
Support to civil society • Roughly 40% of overall funds • Greater involvement in governance • Over 30,000 subprojects funded • Large share at community level • Proven viability of decentralized flow • Building mechanisms all partners can use • Combine $ with capacity support • Kenya: training in financial and project management, proposal writing, M&E
MAP Interim Review 2004 • Joint effort of World Bank, UNAIDS, bilateral donor, NGO • 6 country visits • Document review of other countries • Hundreds of interviews • Available on World Bank website
Review: What’s working? • Laying foundations for national action • Promotes “The Three Ones” • National leadership, strategy, and M & E • Joint reviews in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda • Multi-donor pooled support in Malawi • Substantial, flexible, streamlined resources • Engaging civil society (unprecedented) • Stimulating multisectoral involvement • New MAPs learning from older MAPs
Review: What needs work? • Accelerate implementation (variable) • Strengthen NACs and clarify role • Deepen political commitment • Strengthen public sector response • Better sector programs; greater MOH engagement • Simplify civil society procedures • Use full scope of MAP flexibility (outsource) • Substantially strengthen M&E(condition?)
Review: What to add? • More strategic national frameworks • Design the program for the local situation • Link disbursements to performance • Technical guidance on good practices • Enlarge civil society involvement • Accelerate attention to treatment • More explicit gender dimension • And … step up health sector support
MAP eligibility criteria:Where do things stand? • Strategic approach to HIV/AIDS • Strategies, but not enough strategic action • High-level coordinating body • Too closed, too much command-&-control • Exceptional implementation measures • Flow of funds still slower than necessary • Funding multiple agencies/actors
Component performance • Capacity building • Need to improve, esp. in civil society • Public sector • Limited, cookie-cutter, MOH disengaged • Civil society • Strong but need to gauge impact better • Program coordination and M&E • M&E in urgent need almost everywhere
Africa’s tomorrow depends on what we, together, do about HIV/AIDS today.
